ing this no one is more explicit than Irenseus. He says: ''There are three things on which the entire perfect man exists : — Flesh, soul, spirit,— one, the spirit, giving form, another, the flesh, receiving form. The soul, intermediate, when following the spirit, is elevated by it, but sometimes consenting to the flesh, falls into earthly concupiscence/'

With equal distinctness Origen speaks:—"There is a three-fold partition of man, the body, or flesh, the lower part of our nature, on which the old serpent by original sin has inscribed the law of sin, and by which we are tempted to vile things, and as oft as we are overcome by the temptation, are joined fast to the devil; the spirit, by which we express the likeness of the Divine nature, in which the Creator, from the archetype of His own mind, engraved the eternal law of the honest by His own finger, and by which we are firmly conjoined to Him and made one with Him; and then the soul, intermediate between these two, and which, as in a factious commonwealth, cannot but join with one or other of the parties, being solicited this way or that, and having liberty as to which it will adhere. If it renounce the flesh and join with the spirit, it will itself become spiritual; but if it cast itself down to the desires of the flesh, it will itself degenerate into flesh/'
